Normandale Foundation

Normandale Lutheran Church Foundation is our congregation’s response to God’s call to continue His mission and good works far into the future. The Foundation is where we gather and invest financial resources to launch new missions and ministries of our church, empowering our congregation and staff to dream and think big.

Recent Grant Recipients

By trusting in God's will for our work, the Foundation has taken many "leaps of faith" to support new missions and ministries. All gifts further the work of the Foundation as it supports the mission and ministry of Normandale Lutheran Church.

The Foundation has extended that mission in the past year by supporting the following ministries:

Foundation FAQ

How Does The Foundation Operate?As a separate legal entity, funds raised through the Foundation are outside of the Normandale operating budget, so new initiatives can be started without worrying about whether we’re taking anything away from core programs already in place. Because we invest the principal of our gifts and spend only the earnings, we’re always building for the future.

How Do I Give – And When?We encourage all Normandale individuals and families to consider a donation to the Endowment Fund to provide lasting support for Normandale’s mission. For more information, please call Jeff Ohe at 612.859.2726 or email at jeff.ohe@gmail.com.

Who Decides Where The Money Goes?

The Foundation team, made up of members of the congregation, together with the pastors and Church Council, make thoughtful decisions about grant proposals that are submitted to the Foundation. These requests come to us throughout the year.
